ILLOGICAL.

Ella Wheeler WiIcor IN the Cosmopolitan.
She stood beside me while gave an order for
a bonnet;
She shuddered when said: And put a bright
birds wing upon it"
member of the Audubon society was she,
And cutting were her comments upon worldly
folks like me.
She spoke about the helpless birds we wickedly
were harming,
She quoted the statistics, and they really were
alarming.
She said God made his little birds to sing in trees
and skies,
And there was pathos in her speaking, and tears
were in her eyes
oh surely in this beauteous world, you can
find lovely things
Enough to trim your hats, she said, without
the dear birds wings"
sat beside her that same day in her own home
at dinner
Angelic being that she was to entertain a sin
ner!
Her well-appointed table groaned beneath the
ample spread,
Course followed appetizing course, and hunger
almost fed.
And then my charming hostess cried: "Do have

For they re delicate and sweet at this time of

The Presidents Rebellious Tenn per.


Every once in a while the President
makes the mistake of striking back at those
who attack him. 1t is natural that he
should resent the efforts which are made to
bring bin into disrepute with the people, but
his observation and experience should have
taught him that to notice publicly these
efforts benefits him in no respect, and
affords satisfaction to his enemies. 1t
would be much more becoming in him to CON
tinue to do what he believes to be right, and
to treat his detractors with dignifed silence.
At Madison, the home of Postmaster Gen
eral Villas, he referred to the "bitter, ma
lignant and senseless abuse that is fire.
quently heaped upon the President. 1t was
evident to all that he referred to the attacks
which a few newspapers have made upon
him in connection with his present tour and
the speeches he has been making. Once be-
fore, at the Harvard celebration, he permit
ted his feelings to get the better of his judg-
ment and said things that were not becom-
ing to him in his present position, and
which were the source of regret to his
friends
1t is not improbable that when Mr. Cleve-
land was politician in a small way at Buff
falo he did not hesitate to condemn, in pretty
severe teams, the public acts of those with
whom he did not agree politically, or for
whom he had no kindly feeling. He proba-
bly, did not stop to think whether there was
good reason for his criticism or not.
He must not expect that everybody will
praise him or admit that his administration
is all that the people could desire, and he
makes very great mistake if he supposes
that all of those who do not approve of his
acts are going to tell him so in words in
which there is no sting. They are going to
express themselves as they please and there
is no way to prevent them The great mass
of the people, however, who respect him
and believe that he is giving the country an
exceptionally, able and pure administration
are not influenced in the least by what the
malcontents say, and if he is wise he will
not let it appear that he is disturbed by
them
